    In the last year the DPRK has announced that they have abandoned reunification, their previous “one state, 2 systems” stance was replaced with a “2 state” system. The DPRK no longer seeks reunification, which is sad. I think the “one state, two systems” solution would have been a great move forward for a fractured people.

      The DPRK is currently blowing up bridges and escalating conflict. They absolutely haven’t abandoned all claims to South Korea.

        Blowing up stuff inside their own borders… And how are they escalating?

        They are demolishing bridges on their side of the DMZ and cutting reunification committees. Their official stance is, again, 2 states, no longer 1 state, 2 systems. How are they escalating? Looks more like they are hunkering down.

          Thats exactly what they are doing. They see WW3 is coming and are preparing to survive it.

            Makes sense. I don’t think they would intentionally provoke ROK, even if half a century of talks haven’t resulted in reunification, the Korean People very much see the other side as Korean People. It’s a deeply tragic situation.
